Hebrews 10:4-14
English Standard Version
4 For (A)it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5 Consequently, (B)when Christ[a] came into the world, he said,
(C)“Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,
but a body have you prepared for me;
6 in burnt offerings and sin offerings
you have taken no pleasure.
7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God,
as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’”
8 When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in (D)sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), 9 then he added, (E)“Behold, I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second. 10 And by that will (F)we have been sanctified through the offering of (G)the body of Jesus Christ (H)once for all.
11 And every priest stands (I)daily at his service, (J)offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, (K)which can never take away sins. 12 But when Christ[b] had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he (L)sat down at the right hand of God, 13 waiting from that time (M)until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. 14 For by a single offering (N)he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.
